Bethesda releasing more Oblivion content soon

With Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion only just coming to retail stores, the first downloadable content in the form of the horse armor pack (see our coveragecaused a bit of controversy. In response to players' qualms with the price they had to pay for the armor, developer Bethesda stated that is was just following the pricing of other items available on the Xbox 360 marketplace, such as themes and costumes.

The horse armor was just the start, however, with the company confirming that more downloadable content would be available in the next few weeks. The two new pieces of content will be additional quests and a new location added to the world. The quest is called The Orrery, and it allows the player to repair a piece of equipment for looking at the stars. It also unlocks some new powers for the player on completion.

The second bit of content is a location called the Wizard's Tower. This is a location the player can make his or her home, and using it as such allows the growing of herbs and spellmaking and summoning abilities.

Both of these content additios seem to offer quite a lot more than the horse armor pack, so players may be more inclined to buy them. The quest addition seems especially interesting, and as long as it offers a couple of hours of gameplay it will be worth the money for the added powers afterwards.

I agree with JJ(1:40pm EST Fri Apr 07 2006)Sometimes its nice to go to your quest location and not have to wait for or be harrassed by campers in their pampers. – by qwijybo

why online?(1:28am EST Sat Apr 08 2006)the game was designed to be 1 player rpg. not a halo 2 online slaughter fest. – by :-}

extra content(1:32am EST Sat Apr 08 2006)i have read about prices on several sites and have come to find out that the next downloads should be slightly cheaper than the horse armor. also, i would think MS would make all of this content free after a while. kinda like the halo 2 map downloads. i think that may be acceptable to most – by doody

I have Morrowind(2:21am EST Sun Apr 09 2006)but never played itShould I give it a try? – by Stalin

This Game rocks(2:51am EST Mon Apr 10 2006)Although I am not ready to be buying anything extra yet, I do think it deserves the best game if the year award. Quality and great game play in all aspects of the game. You won't get bored.

If you don't have this game yet, this one is definetly worth the money. I wish more company's put this kind of quality in their work – by ME BIGGD01
